I have been blogger tagged by Becca Whitlock. This provides me the perfect excuse to log into my dusty blogspot and get something written. So, without further adieu...

(The Required Owl)

Rules:

-You must make a post to show your award on your main blog.

-You must tag the person who nominated you in your post (also take the cute owl above you).

-You must nominate all of your best buddies, and those whom you want to become best buddies with, who, to your knowledge, have not been nominated for this award.

-You must ask your buddies at least 15 questions in your post.

-You must answer all of the questions your buddies ask you on your post.

I am a very odd type, and you must know this before you read the next paragraph, lest you pass strict judgement on my cruelties.

Now, before I go on, I must point out that no where in the rules does it say the rules cannot be changed. Thus, by decree, for my own sanity's sake, I must change the rules to exclude the word "cute" in the second rule, but also to appease others who read this, I shall leave the required owl picture in, though with much reluctance. I must also add to the rules that you can not change the rules, unless it is such a change as I would make. "I" meaning me, Arthur Dunn. Therefore the new set of rules read as such:

Rules:

-You must make a post to show your award on your main blog.

-You must tag the person who nominated you in your post (also take the owl above you).

-You must nominate all of your best buddies, and those whom you want to become best buddies with, who, to your knowledge, have not been nominated for this award.

-You must ask your buddies at least 15 questions in your post.

-You must answer all of the questions your buddies ask you on your post.

-You cannot under any circumstance change or add to these rules unless that change be one that I would make.

Oh, I do love my new found control over the manipulation of this...game. It is quite entertaining.

1. Something you feel strongly about?

This is a difficult question. Not that I do not feel strongly about anything in particular, but because I feel strongly on many countless subjects. Which one should I choose is a difficult question to answer, but answer it I must. The answer I choose, I choose because it is probably the very root of all my passion (or at least I strive to make it thus).

I feel very passionately about the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. This translates into my actions which ought to conform to His will, also the work of His church which has no purpose but to seek His glory, and His truth, which proclaims His glory and condemns those who reject it. All this I feel very strongly about and pray for a zeal for Him that will glorify Him with my life.

2. A place you would like to visit someday?

There are many places I would love to visit. Scotland would be amazing, but it is not what it used to be, so my choice cannot lie there. I think that I would choose New Zealand, for it is a country that loves its liberty, and, because Wetas are pretty awesome.

3. Cool, obscure skill or talent you have?

Cool skills, I have plenty of those, but when you insert the word "obscure" in there, you really narrow the list down. Well, with my life experience thus far, I think I can truthfully claim the obscure skill of logic. You would be surprised at how few people there really are who can follow solid logic.

4.Something I most likely don't know about you?

I really am unsure of the full extent of your knowledge of me. How 'bout this: I am an uncle. You'll have to let me know in the comment section if you already knew that.

5. Favorite genre of music?

You know what they say, if the music ain't Baroque, it must be broke.

6. What are you going to do with your life?

Find the right girl, get married, and raise a family. Possibly become a pastor, but I'm still unsure on that.

7. How do you react in stressful/frightening situations?

It would be fairly easy for me to answer this question if I had ever been under those feelings, but as it is, those feelings are rather foreign to me.

Ok, maybe I can answer the "frightening" side of the question. I am terribly afraid of heights, so when I am in a situation where I am up very high, I usually move very slowly and carefully. So that's my response, to move slowly and carefully.

8. Is being right/correct important?

Let's see. If I am not right or correct, that means I'm wrong, and that is not something I like to be. Whenever I find I the veracity of a certain thought of mine is faulty, I change my thought on that something real quick. Truth glorifies Christ, false ideas do the opposite.

9. What is the last word you spoke aloud?

Let me see..."aloud". :P

10. If you could change anything about your physical appearance, would you? If so, what?

I'd change my poor goatee into a thick beard. Now that would be an improvement.

11. Do you lean more towards introvert or extrovert?

Anyone who knew me three years ago would say I was an introvert, but now I'm sure many of my friends would question the veracity of that claim. I can clear this whole mess up by stating the simple facts, I'm an introvert who strives to "extrovertize" himself a bit.

12. Slugs or snails? (Important question, that.)

I think Cassie answered this question quite well in her post. They are both slimy creatures, but snails are definitely the lesser of the two evils.

13. If you were travel back in time to any time period, where would you go? And this is not an optional trip. You're lucky you get to chose the time.

I would probably go back to the days of King Edward I back in 1297 and join William Wallace in battling for Scottish independence. Or I might possibly join John Knox in the reformation in Scotland. Oh, those are both in Scotland, I didn't mean to do that...But it was inevitable If I were to choose the most awesome events in history. :)

14. Did anything terrible happen to you in your childhood?

I didn't join NCFCA until my sophomore year. I lived a tragic childhood.

15. How fast can you run?

I can run about 15 miles per hour. How am I supposed to know?! I've never timed myself because I'm not in track. But, laying that aside, I can run fairly fast compared to most people. I'm sure I could beat most people in a sprint, and even more people in a more lengthy run.

Now for the 15 questions for all my "buddies".

1. What is your name?

2. What is your favorite color?

3. What is your....

No, no. I probably shouldn't make that reference...

Here are the actual 15 questions:

1. What is your favorite type of insect?

2. Are you reformed?

3. If you could meet anyone from the 1800s, who would it be?

4. What kind of music do you enjoy most?

5. Favorite fictional book?

6. If you were to attend a costume party, and you had limitless resources to make your costume, who would you dress up as?

7. LD or TP? (Both is a legitimate answer.)

8. Do you enjoy watching Jane Austen movies?

9. McArthur, Sproul, Grudem, Lawson, or Piper? (Sorry, you can only choose one.)

10. Beetles or crickets?

11. Favorite political philosopher?

12. Would you approve of Instant Runoff Voting?

13. What is the color of your hair?

14. Would you spend the extra money on a pair of Nikes simply to have that swoosh symbol on your shoes?

15. Can you share with me the purpose of your life in one sentence?

I really have no idea of who to nominate who would actually respond, so I don't expect any responses from y'all, but to follow the rules I must proceed.
